Distal Clavicle Osteolysis Treatment Guidelines

Distal clavicle osteolysis typically does not heal on its own and requires intervention such as rest, activity modification, physical therapy, or, in severe cases, surgical treatment to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

Treatment for distal clavicle osteolysis includes conservative measures like rest, ice, and physical therapy, and may extend to surgical options such as arthroscopic distal clavicle resection if conservative treatments fail.

The healing time for osteolysis varies, but with appropriate treatment, symptoms may improve within a few weeks to several months, depending on the severity and adherence to the treatment plan.
